A 50-Year Memory: Revisiting Highway 61

From Rolling Stone:

Happy 50th birthday to Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan's strangest, funniest, most baffling and most perfect album, released on August 30th, 1965.

Yep- It's been that long.

Here from Wikipedia is the track listing:

Side one
No.	Title	Length
1.	"Like a Rolling Stone"	6:13
2.	"Tombstone Blues"	6:00
3.	"It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry"	4:09
4.	"From a Buick 6"	3:19
5.	"Ballad of a Thin Man"	5:58

Side two
No.	Title	Length
1.	"Queen Jane Approximately"	5:31
2.	"Highway 61 Revisited"	3:30
3.	"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"	5:32
4.	"Desolation Row"	11:21

An almost unbeatable listing. Inscrutable, fun, and a lot of "It doesn't get any better than this," including what is arguably the greatest song in rock and roll history, "Like a Rolling Stone."



So why not? Here's the title track- still one of my favorites.
